Mission

The Center of Computational Imaging and Personalized Diagnostics (CCIPD) at Case Western Reserve University is involved in various different aspects of developing, evaluating and applying novel quantitative image analysis, computer vision, signal processing, segmentation, multi-modal co-registration tools, pattern recognition, and machine learning tools for disease diagnosis, prognosis, and theragnosis in the context of breast, prostate, head and neck, and brain tumors as well as epilepsy and carotid plaque. Our group is also exploring the utility of these methods in studying correlations of disease markers across multiple scales, modalities, and functionalities -- from gene and protein expression to spectroscopy to digital pathology and to multi-parametric MRI.

Andrew Janowczyk has been awarded a 2 year NIDDK (National Institute for Digestive Diseases and Kidney) T32 fellowship for $100K. As part of this project Andrew will be working on computational interrogation of renal biopsies to identify which patients will have stable versus progressive disease.
